Three Years a Puppet, I Slaughter the Great Clans and Bring Peace to the World

The realm of Jiuzhou lies in ruins. Great clans carve it up, regional warlords rule independently, and everywhere people are consumed by hatred, delusion, greed, and lust. Families abandon newborns, the poor shiver and starve, and corpses litter the land, bearing witness to endless injustice, resentment, separation, and suffering. Chen Ze arrived at the worst possible time. Northern tribes were sweeping through the provinces, while warlords and powerful clans fought over territory. He was forced to become a cook's assistant, then forced to pose as a general. His rank rose, but his position did not: he remained a puppet for others to manipulate... But there's no need to panic. He devours true energy and true meridians to raise his cultivation, then turns the tables, subdues the great clans, absorbs the warlords, and punishes those who refuse to submit. He will purge evil, suppress the wicked, and punish the guilty, bringing harvests and peace to the Han people, with calm seas and a clear sky! From then on, he fears no grandmasters and trembles before no Dao lords, while the common people are never to be treated lightly.
